Default Water pump pulley

I’m looking to replace my 8” pulley with 2 7/8” offset with a 6 3/4” pulley with the same 2 7/8” offset. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Alan

what year engine do you have? i have a few mid 70's w/p pulleys from 2nd gen firebird 400/455 engines but they all measure closer to 6.5".

69 Firebird with 400. The 6 1/2” pulley would be fine as lone as it has a 2 7/8”offset.
Thanks

Sounds like you need a 9799128. Butler sells them new: https://butlerperformance.com/i-2468...l%3Fq%3Dpulley

I had the earlier water pump (4"), and a smaller pulley on my 69 Firebird, but the wrong offset. I changed to the larger water pump (4-1/2") and found a 9799128 pulley from a Facebook Marketplace Pontiac Group a few weeks ago. You can check e-Bay as I've seen them recently, and you might try getting a hold of member 'ol Pinion head', but he's seems to be missing lately.
